1984 Toyota Cressida gx 60 1g-ge

Summary:

A good bargain

Faults:

Engine swapped to 1G-GTE twin-turbo due to wiring problems on the old engine. Electronics are still in proper order. It has been a great car to drive. Unbelievably low fuel consumption.

General Comments:

Adequate performance. Very comfortable car, spacious.A very good made of Toyota.

How hard was it to transfer from a 1GGE to a 1GGTE? Did you change anything internal?

1982 Toyota Cressida RX60 21R - 2.0 SOHC 8v

Summary:

CRESSIDA - Power, performance and prestige

Faults:

Aircond not working because the piping leaks.

Power steering fluid and oil from sump leaks (my fault, didn't change the gaskets)

Rear windscreen heater didn't work.

General Comments:

For a 20 year old car, it is still a great car to drive and the engine felt very eager to be pushed hard. No problems to smoke past newer cars. My car does it with style.

Reliability factor - 5 star!

The steering is light as a feather and sharp too. Very predictable. But as a AT 3-speeder with no overdrive, highway cruising is not as relaxed compared to town driving. Great for hill climbing.
